I'm running RLS7 now. I think it has a few more bugs than RLS6. I would try reinstalling it. I can't get my notification (text) sounds to work. It just keeps vibrating. I also can't seem to keep Weatherbug widget working for more than a hour.

Hello,

I am trying (and already did last year w/o success) to sync a folder of my Android with my Synology NAS.

I got several errors, and really cant understand why its not working.

I downloaded the app, got binaries, generated key, sent the .pub to my NAS through Dropbox, and renamed it to authorized_keys.

DiskStation> pwd

/volume1/homes/Marco/.ssh

DiskStation> ls -las

4 drwx------ 3 Marco users 4096 Feb 22 00:07 .

4 drwxr-xr-x 5 Marco users 4096 Feb 21 20:54 ..

4 -rwxrwxrwx 1 Marco users 602 Feb 21 20:52 autorized_keys

DiskStation> cat /etc/passwd | grep Marco

Marco:x:1027:100::/var/services/homes/Marco:/bin/sh

Then, the app on my Galaxy Nexus 4.2.2 stock:

/sdcard/Music

Marco

192.168.1.107 22

/sdcard/dss_key

/volume1/homes/Marco/MP3

-a --progress

It just say connection error. If I do this for 5 times, my NAS block newer connections due to autoblock policy. So its reaching the NAS.

If I change port to 873, I got this on my NAS

2013/02/21 22:17:50 [6382] rsyncd version 3.0.8 starting, listening on port 873

2013/02/21 22:21:09 [20405] connect from GNexus (192.168.1.19)

And this on Android:

Connection unexpected closed (code 12)

Got no checkboxes selected.

And I can ssh to diskstation using Marco and my password.

By the way, I had to manually put android folder. Oi Filemanager only picks up files.

And when trying to backspace portnumber, when deleting the first number, got a force-close.

Hope someone can clarify it for me.

Best,

Marco :(

Noob here... I just installed Ubuntu to see what all the hype is all about. I had no problems flashing, however I found it toooo laggy and unstable and I decided to go back to stock. There is one problem, i forgot to back up google factory images. I need to put the images in the root to flash, but i have no way putting them on because my Mac computer doesn't recognize my Ubuntu Nexus. Any Ideas guy, need some big help

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferndom:
I guess I'm not explaining it right. I no longer have the Factory Image on my phone, I'm currently running on Ubuntu. My PC nor Mac could recognize the device, so fastboot wont work. I am looking for way to flash the image, that doesn't involve me downloading Ubuntu OS on my PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
you dont understand.

YOU DO NOT PUT .IMG FILES DIRECTLY ON THE DEVICE

you flash them in FASTBOOT mode, which has NOTHING to do with UBUNTU

pretend you flashed a broken rom. GO BACK TO STOCK, none of this actually has anything to do with ubuntu

[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 4693548:
Ok, so here is the long story.

Basically at where I work currently they use an antiquated "Quicken" based time clock system for all of the employees.

I work at two different locations for this company and sometimes travel between those locations in the same day.

I am currently using a template from the Task Wiki (named: Widget To Create Start And End Times For A Calendar Entry) as a base, but obviously I want this functionality to be more automatic than having to press a widget each and every time.

I would like to work out a Tasker system that auto adds a calender note every time I connect to each stores WiFi to denote a "Clock In" and "Clock Out" status.

Each store has a unique SSID, for the purposes of simplicity we'll call them "Store1" and "Store2".

In a given day, if I start the morning at "Store1" I want my Google Calender to reflect that I clocked in at "Store1" at X time, and at whatever time I leave, that as soon as I loose connection to the WiFi I effectively "Clock Out" from "Store1" at Y time.

On days when I travel between store, it should work the same except with both in and out entries for both stores.

Example:

10:01 Clock In @ Store1

11:45 Clock Out @ Store1

12:03 Clock In @ Store2

7:05 Clock Out @ Store2

So the end result is an accurate measure of not only what my total hours were for the day (10:01 to 7:05) but also how long I spent at each location and an obvious lapse in time denoting my travel time.

Now the problems I have with this so far in practice is that, when connected to the WiFi, sometimes it will denote multiple "Clock In"s and "Clock Out"s.

I only want either one to ever fire off ONCE in a given 24 hour period. The idea behind this is not to replace my works official time-clock (even though I would like too).

More of just a way for me to automatically keep tabs on my hours on my own, that way when and if another payroll issue occurs; I have records of my time as proof.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction? I've never used Tasker for much else aside from muting my phone at certain locations or times of the day; so this is very much so advanced for me; but something I desperately want to see realized.

I searched the Groups and XDA forums, I fiddled with many of the "Time Clock" type apps avaible form Google Play but none of them offer the simplistic automation that I have envisioned.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Acer Iconia A500] ChildOf7SIns:
I have had my Acer A500 for about two years and now it won't turn on.

I left it sitting on my kitchen table when I went away for a weekend; when i got back, I plugged it in and let it charge over night. The next morning I tried turning it on with no luck. :crying:

When I press the power button the white light will turn on, but nothing shows on the screen. Holding down the button turns the light back off. If i have it "on" and press the reset button the light will turn off for a second and then turn back on. The screen still stays blank.

I have been googling this for days, but only finding people saying it's in APX mode. But, how did it get that way? ADB doesn't see it. A500 manager doesn't see it. I have installed the drivers from ACER. When I plug my tablet in to my computer, the only thing it sees is the ACER picasso USB boot-recovery driver.

Anyone please? I really can't afford repairs or a new tablet. :fingers-crossed:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hooo100:
I recently upgraded my Galaxy S2 from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2, upgrade went well and everything seemed to work fine till my battery discharged.

I charged the battery and tried to start the device, I can see the initial galaxy screen (the one with the yellow rectangular) after which the screen goes “black” and the device doesn't proceed any further.

Tried to turn off and then on the device, and the same behavior.

The device will not start if for some reason it gets turned off but the device gets heated significantly even though it seem to be turned off, I can turn it on only if I get into recovery mode and restore the 4.1.2 rom from my backup

Any suggestions?

I've started a Whitehouse.gov petition to fix the cell phone subsidy problems. The cost of early termination fees are out of control compared to the wholesale and retail cost of phones and I'd like to see the phone subsidy (or financing) billed separately from the service cost. This would make it extremely clear to all (even those who don't currently understand subsidies) how much the phones are truly costing them and hopefully improve pricing on the big carriers.

We need 150 signatures to get this to a public state where anyone can view it on the site. I'm requesting help from everyone to get these signatures to 150 and beyond. Please post on your Facebook and Google+ to get your friends and family to help out too.

Go here to view the Whitehouse.gov petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/require-fair-and-clear-pricing-wireless-services-and-wireless-devices/wf5hYdxd?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl

The petition is as follows:

The federally permitted duopoly of AT&T and Verizon Wireless has severely hurt competition and driven up prices in the wireless services industry. This has occurred while wireless service prices elsewhere have plummeted due to technological improvements reducing the cost to deliver service. A 3 point approach is required to protect consumers:

1. Require separation of the true cost to the consumer for the phone hardware and wireless service so that they are billed separately.

2. Prohibit early termination fees that exceed the remaining balance of the fair market value of the subsidized or financed wireless hardware.

3. Require all carriers to offer wireless service without any financial penatly or increased cost of service for using a customer owned device.

Now before anyone tells me to own my cell phone service, please note that I already have with a Nexus 4 (previously G'nex) and Straight Talk, SIMple Mobile, and Solavei. I'm pushing this petition for everyone who doesn't yet "own" their service and to improve the future market overall.
[General Topics] Pennycake:
While I agree with you about how you feel about contract services, I'm not sure how I feel about needing this to be legally policed.

The thing with the phones being subsidized is that I don't see this as being a perfectly cookie-cutter direct relation to the monthly contract price. Why is it wrong for a business to offer an incentive for a customer to sign a contract ? People need to do research and have willpower - why should people have to be legally protected from making bad choices ? Casinos, liquor, and cigarettes are legal, after all.

The problem I see with point 2 is that it's not just about the hardware - it's about trying to leave a contract that you agreed to before the end of the term. Would you rather they take people to court over it ? It's like signing any contract and people should take it seriously instead of expecting to just get out of it if they want to - if you stop making car or rent payments the contract-holder isn't going to just say, "o, that's okay, I'll let you off free this time because you seem so nice". If you sign a non-disclosure or non-compete agreement, they aren't going to say, "o, you sound so nice over the phone and you're having a bad time, just go right on ahead and break the contract we won't pursue it".

The real "solution" here isn't legal action, it's public awareness. Awareness that a contract is a serious agreement - and that they have options and need to think about if a contract is best for them or not.

The solution is educating people on their other options - if people talk with their money, the companies will hear it (and at this point, they're already starting to listen).
[General Topics] jswede:
You're preaching to the choir. A two year contract is a real commitment and shouldn't be taken lightly.

However, think about it in a little bit different light. The carriers are a legalized duopoly. This has significant benefits to us - remember when we only had regional carriers and we had to pay exorbitant per minute roaming rates? Now virtually every carrier includes roaming free, because they each have such a far reach with their existing network. We also have near seamless coverage wherever we're driving.

Despite these benefits of having only a couple major carriers, keep in mind that the carriers use public assets to provide service. Their spectrum is leased, not owned, and the spectrum is public property. Furthermore, they are in a unique position to take advantage of us, and they do. Think of the utilities that we use for our homes. You usually only have one choice for electricity and one choice for natural gas service to your home. Because if that, the utilities are regulated to protect the consumer. But, it really only makes sense to have one of each of these utilities in any area due to the high cost of the infrastructure.

I see cell carriers in the same way. Allow them to provide the benefits that they provide with their massive, high quality networks, but protect the consumer from abuse.

Let's take a look at typical discrepancies on a high end android phone subsidy.

Retail cost of phone: $500-600

Likely wholesale cost of phone to the carrier: $300-400

Cost to the consumer on contract: $200-300

Maximum amount of money to be recouped by the carrier due to subsidy: $200

Now lets look at the cost of the subsidy of two years:

Monthly contract cost: $90

Two year contract cost: $2160

Monthly prepaid plan (being conservative, they're typically lower): $55

Two year prepaid plan: $1320

You can't possibly look me in the eye and tell me that a $350 ETF is right or ethical. The carriers are recouping over over $800 to cover the cost of the phone in this scenario, and I'm erring on the low side. Remember when the ETF used to be $125-175? The carriers tell us that advanced devices cost more than feature phones did, but that's a pure lie. In the day of lower ETFs, feature phones had the same high retail pricing that smart phones do today.

You may or may not be surprised to know how many people I talk to about cell phones who don't understand phone subsidies. It's unfortunate, but not everyone understands it.

I'm on a personal mission the take as many people as possibly away from the major carriers and I've been very successful. Many people don't realize the prepaid options they have. But, we unfortunately need regulatory intervention to truly fix the problem.
[General Topics] Juice3250:
I hate the fact that I don't have options right now because I'm locked into a contract until December. When I truly looked at how much I'd save over the two years, it made me sick.

If everyone just did a little bit of simple math they would leave Verizon and ATT. I am leaving to go to straight talk when my contract is up.

I think most people want what they want though. And that is the latest and fastest tech out there that's available to them and when they're offered it 5 to 6 months before they're contract is up at a "discount", then they jump at it. But we all know that in two years, your new tech will be way out dated and you will have paid twice what it's worth. It's rent-a-center for smartphones. It just doesn't make financial sense.

That's just my two cents.

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

But I will have to disagree with you that we need regulatory measures. You would be taking away one's freedom to make choices. No one is forced to sign the contract just as no one is forced to buy a home or car that they can't afford to keep up. People need to be educated on how to live within their means by keeping a budget and sticking to it and learning to say no to themselves sometimes. Just because something is available to us or that we can afford the monthly payments, doesn't always mean we should buy it.

People no longer ask whether or not they should or shouldn't do this or buy that. They do everything they can to acquire the latest tech, gadget or possession thinking it will satisfy their unending desires. The problem is, they don't satisfy us.

Why do you think people are obsessed with rooting and constantly flashing roms? Because we get bored with our current os or how our phone looks and feels, so we think by flashing a different rom or mod, it will keep us happy and satisfied.

The only reason I'm saying this is because I'm just as guilty, but am learning how to be content with what I have. The moment I start becoming discontented with what I have, is when I buy into the lie that I just need to upgrade my phone and sign another contract to make me happy.

But to say that I need the government to tell me that I can't takes away freedoms and personal responsibility. Sometimes we need to make mistakes to realize that the decisions we made weren't so beneficial after all.
[General Topics] jswede:
If you read the petition, it's actually a pretty reasonable request. As a business owner myself, I am generally anti regulation.

My proposed regulations merely require separate billing of the subsidy and service and prohibits the carrier from recouping more than the value of the subsidized equipment in the event that you decide to end your contract early. It is my hope that showing people exactly how much the contract costs them might encourage people to make the right choice. I don't want the government telling people what they have to do, but I do want them to ensure that people are not lied to.

But I fully agree with you that people have lost the common sense to live within their means. I think it's particularly clear as a result of our economic crash related to the housing industry.

On the note of your contract through December, do the math. You may break even quicker than you think. I left Verizon in August, 11 months into my contract. I had a 6 month break even period, so it was a win in the end. I keep telling everyone that I know about the ROI of switching, and I've had pretty good success with friends and coworkers.
[General Topics] Juice3250:
If my wife and I were to end our contracts right now, we'd save $90/month switching to straight talk. A couple of problems. The up front cost of early termination fees and buying GSM phones when both of ours are cdma only usable on Verizon. Pretty sure we'd more than break even over the course of the next 10 to 11 months. We don't have enough saved to pay up front. My wife loves her iPhone 4 and she could probably find someone on Craigslist who would trade a GSM for her cdma. I have a dx2 and could probably get 50-75 for mine. To buy a comparable GSM phone would cost me atleast 200. This all is off the top of my head. Any pointers or tips on the cheapest and best way to do this?
